Hello. I've been traveling to Thailand for 6 weeks at a time (I work abroad, 6 on, 6 off) and have just come across the 180 day tax requirement. But I have some questions... I do not have and do not want or need a Thai bank account. I pay US taxes but will be qualified to have my income covered by the foreign income tax credit this year, so I shouldn't owe anything other than the SS / medicaid. Given these factors, do I still need to pay taxes or file anything in Thailand since I'm arguably not bringing money into a Thai account? I'm interested in applying for the DTV so it'll make my leave breaks easier but I'm not sure if I can as an independent contractor or if this would complicate tax issues..

I just want to make sure I'm doing everything legally but also don't end up paying Thai taxes if I don't even need to pay US taxes.

Tax Residency - If a foreigner holding the DTV stays in Thailand for more than 183 days within the same year, do they automatically become a tax resident and eventually have file tax returns there?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Hi everyone,

I'm an engineer currently living in Thailand on a DTV (Digital Work) visa. I've been staying here for over 180 days, so I have to pay taxs in thailand

I'm now looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable accountant or tax advisor who can assist me with my personal income tax.

If you have any recommendations for reliable firms or professionals-especially those who are experienced with expats or DTV visa holders.

Please share the information.

With a retirement visa what are the tax implications for sending money to your thai bank account?

And is there a time factor involved that influences tax.

Also....is there a minimum amount of time i have to be in Thailand while I have a retirement visa?

I have been told by my employer that I am OK to work remotely in Thailand on a pert time basis 25 hours per week.

This suits me fine as I was going to retire/semi-retire.

Is anyone else doing this from the UK as I would like to know about the double tax arrangements and whether this forms any part of the DTV application.

Wish to check. Having a Thai marriage visa is eligible for yearly tax return when I work in Thailand ? I'm currently on working visa now and got to know I'm not eligible for tax return if I continue to be on working visa.

Hello everyone

Does anyone know someone that does or know anything about Canadian Non resident tax returns.

Thank you in advance for your help

Yeah, I know that the law requiring taxes for staying over 180 days has been in effect since last year. But honestly, I've never seen anyone around me actually paying taxes while staying here all year. Have you guys ever seen anyone who paid? 😂😂

So, do parents of international school students also have to pay taxes while living here? If that’s the case, who would even send their kids to school here? 🤣🤣

Hello everyone

I have a question about Tax with DTV but because it’s new then maybe we will not find the answer.

Some people are saying that the DTV visa is a tourist visa where you can stay 6 month in Thailand but because it’s a tourist visa it’s not made to pay tax in Thailand.

Others are saying that you can do a border run and stay more then 6 month in Thailand and then you can go to the tax office the year after and declare your the revenu that you bring into Thailand before the 1st of March to be Thai tax resident.

So my question is : If you are expat from your country, can you declare what you bring into Thailand and pay your tax on it in Thailand with a DTV visa ?

Thank you if someone have the answer :-)

Question here for the DTV holders currently residing in Thailand longer than 180 days per year therefore becoming liable for Thai income tax returns. Does anyone here have any experience dealing with a local agent that understands the situation and double tax treaties? I’m a full time online freelancer earning %100 of my income from Australian clients and pay Australian income taxes and GST. Any experience from others or recommendations for a local agent would be appreciated as we are intending to stay for 1 full year leaving the country only a few times between those 180 day periods for some other travel. From what I understand you’re only taxed on what is remitted into Thailand however it seems largely a grey area.
